The Indian Journal of Transport Management (IJTM) ) (ISSN 0970-4736) is published every quarterly by the Central Institute of Road Transport (CIRT), Pune, India, for the Association of State Road Transport Undertakings (ASRTU), New Delhi. Although, the Journal concentrates on public transport and specifically bus transportation. Over the years , it has provided a forum for discussion on transport policies, public and private sector participation, financing, affordability and quality of transport services. The Journal aims at providing a link between the academician and the manager, and the policy maker and the customer. In this process, it has endeavoured to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the field of transportation.
